Overview

If you use Apollo for data but use Outreach for engagement, you can integrate Apollo with your Outreach account.

The benefits of this integration include:

  • Unified Data: Push Apollo contacts directly into Outreach.
  • Ease of Execution: Deploy Apollo contacts into your Outreach sequences.
  • Streamlined Workflow: Remove unnecessary steps when working between Apollo and Outreach.
  • Automatic Synchronization: Contacts you push from Apollo to Outreach will automatically sync with the same fields.
 
Automatic Synchronization

When you push contacts to Outreach, the following fields will sync—provided they are also present in Apollo: First Name, Last Name, LinkedIn URL, Website URL, Title, City, State, Country, Email, Phone, Street, Postal Code, and Time Zone.

Check out the following sections to connect Apollo and Outreach, push contacts from Apollo to Outreach, and add contacts to an Outreach sequence.

Connect Apollo to Outreach

 
Permission to Succeed!

For optimal functionality, make sure you have permission to create prospects within the Outreach platform before you connect Apollo to Outreach. If you do not have permission, please contact an admin user of your Outreach account. For more information about permission settings in Outreach, refer to the Outreach Governance Profile Settings Overview article in the Outreach Knowledge Base.

Launch Apollo and click Settings. Then, click Integrations.

Settings—Integrations

Scroll to the Outreach section and click Connect.

Connect Outreach

To connect the platforms, you need to authenticate your account. Click New Authentication in the Outreach Authentication modal.

New Authentication

 
Auto-Populate Credentials

The authentication modal detects if you are already logged into Outreach in another tab or window and will populate your credentials for you. If you want to access Outreach from an alternative account, make sure you log out of Outreach in all other tabs and windows first.

When the Outreach Authentication drop-down reads: "Outreach Connected," click Next.

Outreach Connected

Click Finish to complete the connection.

Finish

Your Outreach account is now connected with your Apollo instance.

Admin Access

You can only connect one Outreach account to Apollo at a time. To ensure that all account users can access all Outreach sequences from Apollo, make sure you connect an Admin account to Outreach.
